A Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator matching a fifth breakthrough expert? Such a thing had never been heard of!
Beside him, Chen Zilu was more concerned about another matter.
"Ancestor," she said. "Jiang Ye has reached the 99th trial. Will his cosmic blessing be significantly different from ours?"
"Naturally," Chen Jiuxuan replied. "Starting from the 70th trial, the cosmic blessing grants an additional treasure. The reward for the 99th trial will undoubtedly be far more substantial than that of the 70th."
"As for what it might be?" Chen Jiuxuan shook his head slightly. "I'm afraid I don't know either."
As the Chen Family Patriarch, his highest achievement had only been reaching the 79th trial.
The 99th trial? A height he had never even dared to imagine.
"Let's wait," Chen Jiuxuan said, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Once Jiang Ye emerges, we'll know the truth."
How much benefit would Jiang Ye ultimately gain?
Even he couldn't fathom it.
Hearing this, Chen Zilu felt a flicker of anticipation.
"Jiang Ye, will he directly break through to peak fourth-breakthrough?"
"Or just quasi-fifth-tier?" Chen Zilu gazed ahead, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
She had been worried about Jiang Ye's situation in the Great Stellar War, which was half a year away.
The invincible dao bone could contend with a transcendent being, but only under the condition that they were in the same realm.
If Jiang Ye faced an opponent of a higher tier, his chances of victory would be virtually nonexistent.
He needed to reach fifth breakthrough as soon as possible, ideally the late-stage of fifth breakthrough, to stand a chance of winning the battle in six months.
Within the void space, vast amounts of starlight poured down like an inverted ocean, bathing the void in a dazzling, multicolored radiance.
Time flowed.
A figure sat cross-legged on the ground, enduring the relentless torrent of starlight with unwavering stability, like a bedrock.
Yet his life aura grew increasingly powerful.
Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough.
Peak Fourth Breakthrough.
Quasi-Fifth-Tier.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
Jiang Ye finally absorbed the last wisp of starlight into his body.
In that instant, the entire void space plunged into absolute darkness, utterly silent.
But only a second later...
BOOM!
As if the universe's singularity had exploded, an intensely radiant light erupted from Jiang Ye's body, as dazzling as the Proud Sun itself.
And that wasn't all!
An overwhelmingly powerful life aura surged forth, swelling like a tidal wave.
Rising!
Rapidly rising!
Within Jiang Ye's body, countless miraculous transformations were occurring. At the most microscopic level, the fundamental code, and the primitive genetic sequences were undergoing a chain reaction, giving rise to a terrifying qualitative change.
In the blink of an eye, his life aura crossed that ethereal threshold.
He had entered another dimension of life!
Whoosh! Jiang Ye's eyes snapped open, a terrifyingly sharp glint flashing through them, as if piercing the void itself.
BOOM!
His life aura finally fully bloomed, reaching an unprecedented peak.
At that moment, if the Jiang Ye of the past had stood before him, he would have been instantly suppressed by this overwhelming aura, utterly incapable of resistance.
"Fifth Breakthrough!"
"I've finally reached it." Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with brilliance.
The profound changes brought about by breaking free from life's shackles made his body radiate with an almost reflective, dazzling light. From a distance, he resembled a young divinity.
"Hahaha!"
"Fifth Breakthrough!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but burst into joyous laughter. "I actually succeeded!"
Before entering the hundred cosmic refinements, Jiang Ye could never have imagined such a breakthrough.
From the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough straight to the Fifth Breakthrough!
What kind of concept was this?
According to the overseers of the Star Realm Sea, there was a formidable barrier between the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough and the peak fourth-breakthrough.
And the difficulty of advancing from the peak fourth-breakthrough to the Fifth Breakthrough was undoubtedly far greater.
Yet Jiang Ye had now crossed this chasm in a single leap!
"The cosmic blessing is truly miraculous."
"It requires no refining!" Jiang Ye marveled inwardly. "This starlight is actively transforming my body—it's utterly astonishing."
In the past few hours, Jiang Ye had gained benefits equivalent to consuming over a hundred Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities!
If he had truly consumed that many opportunities, it would have taken him at least half a month of refining to assimilate them into his being.
But now?
In just a few hours, Jiang Ye had completely absorbed the cosmic blessing.
Without this, he wouldn't have been able to reach the fifth breakthrough so quickly.
Of course, this breakthrough only pertained to his life level.
As for the True Divine Manual, he still had some distance to go.
"With the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal's assistance, breaking through the True Divine Manual is only a matter of time," Jiang Ye thought, his eyes gleaming. "The metamorphosis of my life level, on the other hand, was the most challenging part."
Even his journey to the Star Realm Sea had only brought him to the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough.
This made it clear just how extraordinary the cosmic blessing had been.
"These hundred cosmic refinements are undoubtedly a divine-tier opportunity," Jiang Ye concluded with growing certainty.
It had to be said:
The Chen Clan's visit had been perfectly timed.
Without this cosmic blessing, Jiang Ye would have had to wait at least half a year before attempting the fifth breakthrough.
But now? He would have ample time to stabilize his realm.
"My current self..."
"Is incredibly powerful." Jiang Ye clenched his fist, sensing the surging power within him.
He felt as if a raging Tyrannosaurus Rex resided within his body, its overwhelming force giving him the illusion that he could tear apart the stars themselves.
In truth, this wasn't entirely an illusion.
With his current strength, Jiang Ye couldn't tear apart stars, but destroying a small asteroid tens of kilometers wide would be effortless.
"If I had possessed this power earlier," Jiang Ye mused, "the mid-stage fifth breakthrough expert in the hundredth trial would have been no match for me."
A smile crept across Jiang Ye's face at the thought.
Without the cosmic blessing, he would never have reached this level.
There was nothing to regret.
Suddenly,
Buzz! A violent buzzing sound echoed through the void space.
From the depths of the dark void, a dazzling golden light materialized.
"Hmm?"
"What's that?" Jiang Ye stared in surprise.
Could the cosmic blessing still be ongoing?
He had already received unimaginable rewards. If there were more to come, it would be beyond absurd.
Whoosh!
A golden ray of light shot toward Jiang Ye, rapidly expanding as it approached.
In mere seconds, it materialized before him, revealing itself to be a piece of golden jade. Its radiant luster emanated a faint, immortal divine resonance.
"What's this?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted slightly.
He sensed a familiar energy emanating from the jade.
"Third-tier divine jade?" Bai Gui's voice suddenly rang out, tinged with shock.
Whoosh!
A figure materialized—Bai Gui, clad in white robes, her sword slung across her back, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
"Senior Bai Gui?" Jiang Ye was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever seen her display such emotion.
Normally, Bai Gui rarely appeared of her own volition.
The only previous instance had been during the incident at the Cosmic Civilization Divine Temple, when Bai Gu's actions had compelled her to intervene.
Otherwise, she remained dormant within his sea of consciousness.
This was the first time Jiang Ye had witnessed Bai Gui manifesting in response to a treasure.
